The History

Before It Was
Boulder Creek

Boulder and Lorenzo were rival towns a mile apart: one a rough logging camp, the other a would-be high-society outpost. By the time they merged, neither side had won. But while the rivalry was still hot and the hillsides were raw with fresh-cut stumps, the locals just called it Stumptown.

From 1875 to 1885, the wooden flume ran lumber from Boulder Creek to Felton. It was also the gnarliest ride in the valley for the loggers who dared to surf the chute at ungodly speeds. No leashes. No backing out.

Stumptown Supply exists to keep those stories on people's backs. This is gear for the people who know that Boulder Creek isn't just a pitstop on the way to the beach.

Stumptown Supply started behind the counter at The Redwood Keg. David came for the extra shifts - his daughter had college to pay for - and ended up reconnecting with the people who make this place what it is.

He's a special ed teacher by trade, but after enough conversations across the counter, he started digging into the old stories: the flume, the feuds, the drive-in nobody remembers. The shirts are just a way to keep the lore in circulation.

Mountain Charlie Tee

$35
Mountain Charlie Tee

Free shipping on all US orders

In May of 1854, a grizzly caught Charles "Mountain Charlie" McKiernan hunting near the summit, crushed part of his skull, and left him for dead. Charlie disagreed. Legend has it the doctors closed the hole with a plate hammered out of silver coin, and that his head threw it back out within the month. So he pulled his hat brim down low and carried on: built the toll road over the mountains, kept the stage stop on it, and lived another 38 years, long enough to outlive every grizzly in the range. This tee is for anyone who refuses to back down when the trail gets steep. We printed this on the Comfort Colors 1717 because a story this heavy needs a shirt that can carry the weight. It features a relaxed, vintage fit and heavyweight, garment-dyed fabric that feels broken-in from the first wear. Material: 100% Ring-Spun Cotton (6.1 oz heavyweight)
